Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional LIT, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and a fall retake to improve your superscore. Since LIT does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, time your last fall SAT or ACT so scores arrive before its Regular Decision deadline, and do not use the January 15 financial aid priority date as your testing target.
